In Uruguay, the Banco de Previsión Social (BPS) issues A1 certificates confirming that posted employees remain under their home country’s social security system.
Processing times may vary; officially, it takes 7–10 business days, with the main challenge being that Powers of Attorney (POAs) signed abroad must be notarized and apostilled.
